I bought a Hama MCE Remote with an IR-Receiver to control XBMC.
What i didn't realize at this moment was, that this isn't a certified mce remote. That means, that no programm (girder, eventghost etc.) recognizes it as a remote. All programms treat the remote as a HID keyboard. That of course makes it pretty difficult to change the key mappings...

For example, when i press "fwd" on my remote, it sends CTRL+SHIFT+F

Here are my two questions:

1. Is there a programm that could help. A programm that could change this CTRL+SHIFT+F to an f or esc maybe?

2. Is it possible to change the XBMC mappings so thats CTRL+SHIFT+F is the shortcut in XBMC to "fwd"? I do know how to change the mappings but I don't know how to express CTRL+SHIFT+F in the mappings.xml!

Thanks or the help...

I bought a Hama remote as well and couldn't get it working no matter what I tried (and I tried a lot). I now have a Logitech Dinovo Mini and I'm quite satisfied with it.

Logitech Dinovo Mini is a pretty expensive solution

Is it really not possible to change the mappings that XBMC understand SHIFT+ Anybutton?

I bought a HAMA remote aswell and can not get it to work. Better buy a certified MCE remote.

my remote is also visible as a HID keyboard. I am using eventghost with the keyboard and the HID plugin and also with the XBMC plugin and it's working pretty good.
